Come of Age - Original Song

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
The sun this morning rose
Over a box of unused clothes
And then September came above and started leaking summer rain

The day left me behind in bed
I looked to all the clouds and said
You look a little a this year, why the sudden change?

CHORUS
Tapping on my window push my finger through the glass
I make another friend as I am watching old ones pass
I’m planning for tomorrow just to be another day
The sun shines just as brightly when I look the other way
And every night I sleep to dream for courage on the stage
And in my dream I have another chance to come of age

VERSE 2
My pillow was so soft and deep
I walked back to the edge of sleep
The clouds, the rain, the grey all turned to dust upon my shelf

A picture of a memory
They settled on and said to me
It’s been a few Septembers and you've changed a bit yourself

(CHORUS again)

VERSE 3
And I woke up again that day
I sleep to dream the rain away
The sun left me behind but I’ll stay here a little while

All the space inside of me
Is waiting for a memory
For next year I may wake up to September with a smile

(CHORUS again)

Helloooooooo

Here is my FOURTH original song of this channel! yet another song about growing up or whateva. Listen they just keep coming to me at this point in my life.

I wrote this in about an hour and a half one night (I find the songs I like the best I write in less than a day because I don't overthink the lyrics). I wrote this coming from being in the weird back-to-school season when I’m not going back to school for the first time since I was like 5. I could take each lyric apart and explain what I'm kind of referring to there but I think I’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves, and you can interpret what you want from them. They have their own specific meaning to me and I’m sure it’ll be a little different for everyone.

I don’t think you have to be in high school, or university, or "young" to come of age. It's never too late for anything, and you can grow and change and learn no matter when.

Anyway I hope you like this. I was so touched by people putting their own personal experiences in the comment section of my 202020 original song. It makes me feel a little less alone in my experiences and also less nervous putting slightly more personal songs out. Thanks for the support :)

Ps. No glitches in this one I think......? I converted the HEVC video file from my phone to some other thing (idk man) and reduced the quality, and after exporting the full file a couple times on imovie, this is a watchable video! The ppl at the coffeeshop I'm working at definitely saw me stressing while watching the same video of myself for like 2 hours lol
